PEMCO Insurance is offering Seahawks fans a chance to go to the Super Bowl, even if it’s in name only. The local insurance firm is assembling a “12th Fan” banner to fly over MetLife Stadium, the site of Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2, and they’re hoping to bring the spirit of the 12th Man along with it, too.

PEMCO — a Seahawks partner — will be taking the banner throughout Seattle until Tuesday in hopes of gathering at least 12,000 signatures from the Seahawks fans. Fans can also “virtually sign” the banner by using the hashtag #12banner on social media sites.

This isn’t the first banner to be flown over a Seahawks game away from CenturyLink Field this season. In December, a group of fans flew a banner reading “Go Hawks” over Candlestick Park during Seattle’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Its presence didn’t exactly help the Seahawks, who fell 19-17.
